Ruskin Gas owner Hardeep Sidhu might have to close his station and general store because of lower prices in Silverdale.

Gas station losing price war Ruskin store on Metro border can’t compete with Fraser Regional neighbours by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

ight years ago, when Hardeep Sidhu first bought the Ruskin gas station and general store and started selling gasoline, the price difference between Metro Vancouver and Mission, in the Fraser Valley Regional District, was about five cents a litre. But the gap has grown over the

last few years as the gas tax was hiked – to the point that Metro Vancouver’s transit taxes add 17 cents to a litre and the trickle of motorists crossing into Silverdale a few kilometres away in west Mission for lower prices, has grown into a flood that’s washing away Sidhu’s station on 287th Street and Lougheed Highway. “I used to have almost 12 employees, but now I have three or four. Now I’m thinking I’m going to close it because I’m losing money,” he said Wednesday. “I’m so far away, I don’t have any services.” Sidhu’s property is also on well water, which means the property

wouldn’t work for a fast food restaurant, which needs municipal water. “If I can’t do something, maybe I’m going to close it. Because there’s nothing else you can do in that location.” That could happen next spring, he added. Sidhu said he used to open 24 hours a day, then cut hours from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., then 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. as business dropped. The cash flow tells the same story. An average day now brings in about $500 in gas sales. It was 10 times that when he first bought the business.

If he closes, it’s unlikely he’ll sell the property after spending $800,000 installing tanks and gasoline pumps when he first purchased it. Sidhu also pays $36,000 yearly in property taxes, and has no transit and no water or sewer services, instead relying on septic tank and well water. The lack of Metro Vancouver water and sewer restricts any future development options. So far, Sidhu is at a loss at what to do. Wednesday he was charging $1.26.9 a litre for regular unleaded, while the competition across the border were asking $1.11.9.

A Maple Ridge woman who stabbed her husband to death three years ago during a domestic dispute will spend a minimum of seven more years behind bars. Leah Marie Florence, 45, was convicted in May of the second degree murder of her husband Andrew Lynn Milne after a dispute on Nov. 3, 2009. Florence was at New Westminster Supreme Court for sentencing on Thursday, when Crown counsel agreed to the mandatory life sentence. With a minimum parole eligibility of 10 years served, Florence could be out of jail in as little as seven years. Florence has spent the past three years in custody at the Surrey Pretrial Centre.

They won’t be hurting anyone tonight S tor y by Tim Fitzgerald

n a scrapbook Juanita Blades keeps at home are the yellowed pages of how, on a warm Tuesday evening 37 years ago, a drunk driver changed her life. It was late at night on July 15, 1975, when Blades, then 31, was driving home with her three children. Now 68, Blades is determined to do her small part to make sure her story isn’t played out again, Starting Friday, Nov. 30, Blades will spend weekends answering calls from people in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows who are too drunk to drive and need a safe ride home. She’s again a volunteer with Operation Red Nose, entering its third year in Maple Ridge. If only such a service existed all those years ago. As Blades and her children travelled back to Richmond after visiting an aunt in Nakusp, they wound their way along Highway 3, about 12 kilometers east of Princeton. Shortly before 10 p.m., Blades noticed a car heading in her direction, driving erratically. She was fortunate enough to swerve to the gravel shoulder as an oncoming car hurtled recklessly across the yellow line into oncoming traffic. Blades’ car was hit on the front driver-side headlight, sending the car to a sudden stop along a roadside ditch. She was lucky. Those in the car behind her were not. “You never think anything like this will happen to you,” Blades says. “But it happens in the blink of an eye.” The tattered pages of her scrapbook recount the death of 11 people who died along the desolate stretch of highway that fateful night. The accident, believed to be the worst traffic fatality in the province at the time, claimed the lives of a Richmond family making their way home from holidays: Peter Klassen and his wife Lillian, along with their six children – Cheryl Ann, 17, Leslie, 15, Janice, 14, Eileen, 12, Randolph, eight, and Terri-Lyn, 3. All perished after the oncoming vehicle T-boned the Klassen’s car, trapping the victims inside as their station wagon erupted into flames. Three of the four people in the car that was responsible for the accident also perished in the crash. Tom Graham, a 24-year-old from Princeton who was driving the car, died, along with passengers Leonard Nyman, 24, and his brother, Norman, 23, of 100 Mile House. Richard Salter, a 23-year-old from Princeton who was in the car with Graham, was the only other person

in the accident to survive. Blades, who lives in Maple Ridge now, says she often wonders how justice would have played out for the driver, had he lived. From the tragedy to today, Blades says she thinks harsher penalties for drunk drivers involved in the death of another driver should trigger an automatic minimum sentence of five years. But all too often, Blades feels guilty drunk drivers too often only get a slap on the wrist. “My biggest problem is with the court system. We have too may plea bargains on theses open-and-shut cases.”

While Blades can only hope for changes to the court system, she can help make the roads safer this holiday season. This is her second year answering calls for Operation Red Nose, the mandate of which is to ensure holiday revelers, and their cars, get home safely. A party of three Red Nose volunteers responds to each call, one to drive the customer’s car home, another to navigate, the other to drive the return vehicle back to Red Nose headquarters. In return for a donation, customers arrive home safely, and conveniently have their vehicle parked in

the driveway. The program runs each Friday and Saturday night through the Christmas holiday season and concludes New Year’s Eve. “I couldn’t believe the amount of calls we had coming in from young people,” last year, Blades says, noting how public awareness on the issue of drinking and driving has improved since 1975. “It’s so nice to see. When I take the calls, I say to myself, ‘at least they won’t be hurting anyone tonight.’” Blades mentions that those using the Operation Red Nose service are always appreciative. “It’s pretty simple. Just hand over

your keys if you’re heading out and going to be drinking.” Operation Red Nose manager Linda Palm says the key to the program’s success is having dedicated volunteers like Blades give their time at this busy time of the year. “It’s important that, as the program grows, we can attract people like Juanita who are very passionate about the issue and speak so highly of what we do. “We’re only as good as our volunteers.” Palm added that it’s also important to enough donations are received to continue the program. While it is a free service, Operation Red Nose relies on the good will of those that use the service. This year, the program has extended to Burnaby and New Westminster. It now stretches from Agassiz to West Vancouver. Last year, Maple Ridge saw an increase of almost 17 per cent in the number of rides given, to 430. The number of volunteers also increased, to 283, up front 197 in 2010. Palm says the program is not just for those who’ve had too much to drink, but for anyone who might not be comfortable driving at night, whether because of road conditions or being tired. Reduce the risk, a sentiment Blades reiterates. Her oldest daughter was 13 at the time of the tragic accident. Still, she didn’t learn from it as one would expect. “I thought, my kids will never drink and drive,” Blades says. But only a month after she turned 16, Blades’ daughter was hit with a 24-hour roadside suspension. Later, she was nabbed again, this time incurring a one-year penalty. Blades says her daughter is fortunate to have not injured herself, or worse, anyone else. “I know she’s learnt her lesson,” now. “I hope others will, too.” Especially young drivers. That demographic is most risk, Blades says. If they could just see her scrapbook the page with the black-andwhite photo of eight coffins lined up in a row, each one larger than the next. In the background are the faces of heartbroken family, friends, of a community. “A picture says so much.”

Operation Red Nose To volunteer for Operation Red Nose, call 604-515-NOSE (6673). Application are available at the local RCMP office. To book a ride call 604-515-6673 or 1-877-604-NOSE. This year the service will be in operation between 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, and Dec. 7-8, 14-15, 21-22, and 31.

Car Care with Cyril Barry

THE OIL CHANGE I’m writing this article in the vain attempt to break a modern myth that seems to be gaining momentum with the advent of the ‘fluid exchange’ group. Changing your engine oil is not vehicle maintenance, it is rather nothing more than changing a fluid in your vehicle. Vehicle owners’ need to grasp the facts of what vehicle maintenance really is, not the slick advertisements of this new breed of fluid exchange experts. Maintaining your vehicle requires two very important elements, your vehicle and a certified full service auto tech! Vehicles contain many sub systems such as the engine, drive line, suspension, brakes, air conditioning, coolant system, steering and the Computers that control them all. It takes training, experience and sophisticated equipment to correctly diagnose and repair your vehicle. These are facts that you need to accept. Your vehicle is designed as a group of separate components that act both independently and in unison with each other. All monitored and commanded by multiple computer controllers. These individual systems have components that affect not only their own processes but also they’re multi tasking as well. Think of the domino theory, that is where one domino falls over into the next domino and it falls over into the next and so on. This simplified theory is an example of how each automotive sub system is directly affected by one or more of its cousins! One problem can cause another that can soon multiply into many very quickly or over a long period of time. So do you rely on someone that specializes in one or two fields of automotive repairs, or do you rely on someone specialized in all fields of auto diagnostics and repairs? A full service certified auto tech is the only auto repair professional qualified to provide you and your vehicle(s) with a comprehensive assessment of its current condition. What it requires for immediate service and what it will require in the near future. All vehicles require service, maintenance and repairs or replacements of parts, this you know. Not all vehicles require these at the same intervals suggested by the manufacturer. Many need them sooner and some can stretch it longer. The only person that can tell you this with authority is a certified full service auto tech, without exceptions. They know the entire vehicle, how all things interact with each other and what to prioritize. We refer to it as ‘Cause and Effect’. Vehicle fluids, specifically oils provide lubrication to many components which help cool moving metal parts ensuring them a certain life span, by design. By simply changing fluids without knowing their design or purpose, or failing to see the tell tale signs in the oil your changing, or what those signs’ mean is a lost opportunity. You see a simple oil change is an opportunity for an experienced auto tech to examine the heart of your engine and the rest of the vehicle to determine its present condition. Why take the chance?

Pacific Skydivers has operated out of Pitt Meadows airport since 1986. the newS/files

Skydivers fed up with Pitt Meadows airport Business owner ready to leave over lease rate increase by Ro ber t M angel sdor f staff reporter

An increase in leasing fees of more than 2,000 per cent may force a long-time business out of the Pitt Meadows airport. Ian Flanagan has owned and operated Pacific Skydivers Ltd. out of the Pitt Meadows Airport since 1986, but says he is considering packing his things and moving to Alberta after finding out the fees the airport charges him to let his skydivers land on a swampy

piece of ground next to one of the runways has increased from $2,800 annually to more than $60,000. “There’s no way I can pay that,” said Flanagan. “[The airport’s] position is just absurd.” Flanagan’s company attracts more than 1,500 customers annually, and employs 12 people in peak season. “So far this year, we’ve paid out $270,000 in pay roll, bought $100,000 in [aviation] gas, $70,000 in maintenance,” he said, adding that he already pays $50,000 in rent for hangars and offices. But if he has to pay the new lease rate, Flanagan said he plans to move his business to Alberta, where he already owns

and operates a skydiving drop zone licence. Glenn Ralph, general manager of the Pitt Meadows Airport, said the rate Flanagan was previously charged was a throwback to previous deals struck with Transport Canada, when it ran the airport. However, those fees don’t reflect the true value of the land Flanagan is leasing from the airport. Ralph said taxes on the 1.4-hectare piece of property alone cost the airport close to $9,000 annually. “He was dramatically underpaying, that’s the only reason why he’s seeing such an increase,” Ralph said. “He’s had a very good deal for a

cording to Ralph. “That has absolutely nothing to do with it,” he said. “We don’t make any money off our fuel sales, we provide that merely as a service to our tenants.” Ralph said the loss of Flanagan’s business would have an “insignificant” impact on the airport’s business. The airport is operated by a private, non-profit society, and Flanagan said he hopes to bring the matter before the airport society’s board for reconsideration. However, Ralph said Flanagan has known about the increase for more than a year and a half, and has already had plenty of opportunity to do that.

It wasn’t fair to our other tenants.” Ralph added the new lease rate Flanagan is being charged is consistent with what the airport’s other tenants are paying. “There’s 52 other tenants, and many have renewed or are in the process of renewing at this rate,” said Ralph. Flanagan said he believes his business is being unfairly targeted by the airport because he refused to buy aviation fuel from them, opting instead to buy from the Aero Club of B.C., which operates self-serve pumps at the airport. Nothing could be further from the truth, ac-

Taxes rise but TransLink cuts

TRADE-IN TO WIN!

Looking to trim community shuttle routes in rural Maple Ridge

Trade -in your old glasses to receive $150 off* designer frames

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

People who want to vent against possible tweaks or cuts to bus routes will have a chance Dec. 6 in the Arts Centre Theatre, where TransLink holds its information meeting in Maple Ridge. They may, however, discover they agree with TransLink’s changes. As part of its “service optimization” plan, TransLink is looking at trimming the community shuttle routes C-48 and C-49. Both serve the eastern part of the district, either Ruskin or Thornhill. TransLink is proposing to cut the southeastern part of the C-49 that runs along 272nd and 280th streets to Lougheed Highway and instead have the service only go to 112th Avenue in the Whonnock Lake area. As for the C-48, TransLink is proposing that the shuttle make a loop route in the Albion area (instead of serving east Thornhill along 100th Avenue), then head westbound to connect to the Port Haney train station. TransLink manager Marisa Espinosa told council Monday that some of those runs have little or no ridership. Route C-49 to Ruskin, she pointed out, had only one or two riders per trip, while the C-48 only had that number every day. The changes mean the shuttle service would circulate in the more populated parts of the district, which could increase ridership. Coun. Al Hogarth suggested that the two routes could be combined into a loop, although he added he hadn’t ridden a bus for years. Espinosa said they have to keep in mind the length of rides when planning routes.

“At this point, unfortunately, TransLink doesn’t have the resources for expansion.” Marisa Espinosa, TransLink manager And shouldn’t the Haney bus loop be the eastern terminus for the No. 701 bus, he asked. Coun. Michael Morden asked if TransLink was contemplating any improvements in service. “At this point, unfortunately, TransLink doesn’t have the resources for expansion,” Espinosa replied. TransLink also met with Maple Ridge Recycling Depot to see if it’s possible to keep serving River Road. About nine people in the supported work program rely on the bus to get to work at the depot. Changes are also proposed for route C-41 in Pitt Meadows by turning it into a two-way route, though with only one hour rather than 30-minute service. An open house for that takes place Dec. 5 in the Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre, from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Maple Ridge meeting is from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Drive accordingly A quick look outside will tell you we’re tightly in the grip of November. That means rain. Lots of it. And darkness. Late into the morning and earlier in the afternoon. It’s a dangerous time of year. For motorists, and especially for pedestrians. Statistics from ICBC show almost a third of pedestrian collisions involving injuries or fatalities occur in November, December and January. A little common sense would go a long way to reducing those numbers. Like wearing bright clothing, ideally with a reflective strip or two, so motorists can distinguish you through the gloom. Cross streets using marked, and preferably lit, crosswalks. Motorists peering into the darkness through rain-slicked windshields are already coping with a lot, faded and swamped lane markings, the glare from oncoming headlights; the last thing they’re ready for is a dark figure bolting from the shadows across their path. When walking along the shoulder, where there are no sidewalks, face oncoming traffic. That way motorists can at least see your face, and you will be able to see what’s coming. Drivers can also do their part to improve safety during these dark, rainy months. Ensure your windshield wipers are doing their job. Check that all the lights on your vehicle are working, and that the headlights are aimed properly so they don’t blind oncoming cars or pedestrians. When driving in difficult conditions use the low beams, as the high beams will just reflect the rain or fog, actually making it harder to see. Check your tire tread. Worn tires will take longer to stop, and are more likely to hydroplane. Most importantly, slow down and drive according to the conditions. –Black Press

Hippocrates: our food is our medicine E

very year thousands of community family physicians, university based researchers, teachers and doctors completing their training gather to exchange new insights in how to best deliver health care based on hard scientific evidence and, at Health Care the same time, make Marco Terwiel a concerted effort to debunk the myriad myths and promises floating around the internet to achieve or maintain eternal youth in perfect health. Most of the latter fall under the heading: “If not completely satisfied, guaranteed to get your money back”. Question: Has anyone actually got their money back? My last Google search revealed more than two million websites on how to achieve wellness. If even a fraction of all this was true, hospitals would be empty and doctors on the dole. Still, thousands ignore the sage advice: if it sounds too good to be true, it’s not true. Last week, 4,000 of the best and brightest family physicians gathered in Toronto. Most of the events stayed under the radar, because scientific progress is inherently slow. And unless someone can announce a major breakthrough, as I see every so often on the evening news to get people excited, most of the progress is

uestion of the week:

slow and steady. Come to think of it, of all the major breakthroughs in the past few years, I have not yet seen a single one materialize. Most of it is pure self-promotion to attract funding, and the final results are years down the road, even if everything falls into place. Our keynote speaker was the immediate past Governor General, the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, who had a message we all should heed, not just the family physicians, even though she urged us to be instrumental in improving the health of Canadians by paying much more attention to what makes us sick, rather than find cures. Childhood obesity is a phenomenon that has reared its ugly head in the past 30 to 40 years and threatens to derail the health care system’s ability to cope with an unmanageable burden of illness. When I was in grade school, I never saw a fat child. Even in high school it was unusual to see a fat fellow student. Now at least half of the student population is overweight, obese even. What has happened? Have our genes changed in this short time span? Other than the most gullible will agree that this is not the case. In short, the root cause is the way we eat. We are ignoring what Hippocrates told us some 2,000 years ago, that our food is our medicine. Thanks to misinformation, the food industry and a general tendency to treat symptoms, rather than treating the underlying causes of the obesity epidemic – our food is now our poison. It was difficult for me to get my head

Should Amanda Todd’s story continue to be told in the media? Yes: 58% – No: 42%

around how we actually make our children fat with what is generally considered a healthy breakfast of fancy cereal and organic juice and send them off to school feeling good about what we fed them. If we analyze what we actually fed our children, it amounts to between 60-70 grams of carbohydrates, some may be a bit healthier than others. Still, all these carbs are quickly converted into sugar once in our digestive tract. You may just as well eat 15 to 18 teaspoons of sugar. That sugar load triggers our body to produce a sea of insulin to lower the blood sugar by putting it into storage and converting it into fat. It is the virtual absence of protein that messes up the built-in metabolic safeguards against turning sugar into fat. The other meals and snacks during the day are generally loaded with carbs and fat, and little protein, and we merrily keep storing more and more fat, because the body does not know what else to do. The key is the imbalance between carbs and protein. Most of the processed food contains little or no protein. The less affluent the family, the more pizza, macaroni and cheese and other relatively low-cost processed foods people eat and the results are obvious. I will try and explain in a bit more detail next time how this already starts before we are born, thanks to the erroneous advice we give pregnant women what to eat. Dr. Marco Terwiel is a retired family physician who lives in Maple Ridge.

The News/letters online comments • Teri Mitchell · Maple Ridge, British Columbia: Re: ‘Attempted break-and-enter’ riles Port Haney resident (mapleridgenews.com). Mr. Ducharme, did you not make inquiries as to what the neighbourhood was like before you bought your home? This area has been plagued with these problems for many, many years. The problem is, there is no affordable housing in this district and not enough mental health services or treatment facilities available. I agree with you that the district is not doing enough to resolve the issue, but I would like to suggest you consider for a moment the difficulties the CEED Centre is experiencing as well. They are trying to run a business and having these people hanging around is making that impossible, I should think. I don’t understand why you have such a hate on for the CEED Centre. No one affiliated with the centre is out there robbing your place, pitching tents, shooting up, prostituting themselves or making noise til all the wee hours. Regardless of how you feel personally, the CEED Centre does good work. They have formed a committee to address this issue. Why don’t you sit in on the meetings and offer some constructive input, which would be much more effective than how you are handling it right now. I’m curious to know what you would have done to resolve this issue if you had been elected to city council? Moving the problem from one neighbourhood or one municipality to another does not make the problem go away. The next time you speak council or the newspaper, perhaps you can offer some suggestions as to how this can be dealt with instead of just blaming everyone else and expecting everyone else to make this right. Like you, I live in the area and have been a victim of crime on a number of occasions, but I refuse to let myself feel victimized, powerless or helpless. Those who anger you, control you. Something you should be aware of is that the people the CEED Centre does help have tremendous respect for everyone there. If you are causing problems for Christian and the others, you could well expect there will be back lash. The people on the street take care of their own. Good luck with your pursuit, maybe I’ll see you at one of the meetings.

o it’s another column on TransLink and the West Coast Express and it’s another self-serving one, as the editor points out, but that’s never stopped me before. I’m tired of having to get up at 6 a.m. to catch the bus in Abbotsford to take me Commentary to the Mission West Phil Melnychuk Coast Express station so I can throw my bicycle on the 7:30 a.m. train into Maple Ridge, so I can pedal home on one of the most beautiful cycling commutes, the Lougheed Highway. I’m tired of that and want a more convenient schedule – say perhaps an 8 a.m. departure so I can arrive in Maple Ridge at 8:30 a.m., for a more leisurely start. Self-serving, you bet. But thousands feel the same way – we need to expand the West Coast Express from the ridiculous schedule now, when the train makes only five rush-hour runs into Vancouver and five at night, weekdays only, so we can give our cars and wallets a break, just like the folks in Richmond or Surrey. We need two more trains in the morning, for my convenience, one at mid-day, and one more at night. On the weekends, we need at least one westbound in the

UBC. With the Evergreen SkyTrain line completing in a few years, expanding the West Coast Express will be even easier. As Mayor Daykin points out, the train doesn’t have to go into Vancouver, just to Coquitlam, so people can jump on the Evergreen or Millennium Line and feed those lines. This is what they call a no-brainer. West Coast Express expansion, though, will require somebody to push it along, until it gets done. It will take some aggressiveness and persistence. Some hard work. And some in-your-face lobbying to ensure it happens and this region isn’t again forgotten. Somebody has to pick this up. And if our current mayors are too shy for the task, maybe some former or soonto-former politicians. Maybe some past members of council? What about Conservative MP Randy Kamp and Liberal MLA Marc Dalton? Given the shifting political winds, there’s no guarantee either will be re-elected. Maybe this could be their legacy. The spin could, with both possibly facing defeat in the next elections, Dalton and Kamp selflessly gave their service, never gave up and won a proper commuter rail service for the people of Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission. We could even call it the Dalton-Kamp Line. The old red Tories would love that. – Phil Melnychuk is a reporter with the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News.

morning and one eastbound at night. It should be pointed out that in 2012, in the region that hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics, there still is no bus service between Mission and Maple Ridge. Ever. If you don’t have a car and you don’t catch the morning train, you walk the 30 kilometres or hitchhike, or hitch up old Bessie to the wagon. The cheapest and best way to bridge this gap to expand the train service, which operates at almost no cost to taxpayers. West Coast Express ridership has grown to the point that ticket revenue pays 85 per cent of the costs of running the service. It’s what they call a free lunch for taxpayers. It’s the most cost-effective commuter rail service in North America, says Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin. So when TransLink, in charge of roads as well, is having its budget cut to the bone, the cheapest way of moving people is through mass transit rather than new roads. Work on expanding West Coast Express is underway, sort of. A feasibility study on expansion is underway. That’s expected soon. Maybe. What has to happen is the mayors from those cities, Coquitlam to Mission, have to keep pushing TransLink to keep this on the agenda. It’s their job to fight for the people who voted them in, to fight for such a project that would make such a difference. Otherwise, the more entitled folks from Vancouver will get a subway to

New 30-year roof cost $220,000

Marc Dalton, MLA

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Like the constant drip of a leaky faucet, Maple Ridge’s facilities department keeps trying to find ways to save energy and money as it maintains, parks, buildings and pools throughout the district. One recent project, just completed, involved putting white, insulated reflective panels on the roof of the RCMP building to reflect back the sun’s rays and reduce air conditioning costs in the warm months. The 30-year-old roof had to be replaced, so Solar Reflective Insulated panels were selected as the new roof covering, at cost comparable to conventional materials. “It’s the first application of the product in B.C.,” facilities operations manager Michael Millward said Thursday. Tech Crete in Salmon Arm makes the panels, which consist of a centimetre of white concrete attached to Styrofoam insulation. The white colour of the concrete reflects back the sun’s rays, minimizing the warming of concrete during the summer, while the insulation also keeps the building either warm or cool, depending on the weather. The panels are easily washable. The project just completed and cost $220,000 and will last 30 years. “It’s a reusable product,” Millward pointed out. It’s also a product that will count in LEED certification, he said. “It will help the heating and cooling system.” Millward pointed out that Maple Ridge’s new $10-million Fire Hall No. 1 building also has a white roof to also cut cooling costs. Just exactly what the energy saving will be is hard to calculate, however. Millward said he’d have a better idea after looking at air conditioning bill next summer, although it will be difficult to compare that with previous summer and different temperatures. Measures were also taken this summer to save millions of litres of water.

Colleen Flanagan/the News

Michael Millward, facilities operation manager with parks and leisure services, holds a sample of a solar reflective insulated roof panel that was recently installed on the roof of the Ridge Meadows RCMP detachment headquarters. urinals were flushed five times an hour, 24 hours a day, whether the buildings were open or not. In one day, that worked out to 4,500 litres of water down the drain, in one washroom alone. But over the summer, the fixtures in Hammond Park, Harris Pool, Albion Sports Complex, Merkley Park, Telosky and Harris Road parks were changed. Now, each flush uses only 1.5 litres of water. Toilets in the district’s public works yard were

also replaced with lowflow models. Now each of the 11 toilets in the building at 240th Street uses only 1.5 litres per flush. In the women’s washrooms in Maple Ridge’s leisure centre, free-flowing shower heads were replaced with low-flow models on timers, as are already installed in the men’s change room. The work follows upgrade in heating and lighting systems in the district’s buildings in previous years that are de-

signed to save energy use. A few years ago, the district also installed solar-thermal panels on top of the leisure centre. Those panels heat liquid which is then used to pre-heat water for the washrooms and swimming pool in the leisure centre. That step saves about $70,000 a year in heating costs, Millward said. Next year the district will research replacement of expensive, highmaintenance lights used in parks.

Pitt buildings nominated for awards Two buildings in Pitt Meadows have been nominated for the 2012 Commercial Building Awards, recognizing the best developments in the Lower Mainland. The City of Pitt Meadows’ new South Bonson Community Centre

and RG Properties Ltd.’s Solaris residential and commercial development are both nominated for awards. The South Bonson Community Centre opened last year, and is the city’s first LEED gold-certified ‘green’ building, employing a number of in-

novative environmentally-friendly features. The facility was built on the site of an old mill, and uses reclaimed wood throughout. The building uses natural light wherever possible and rainwater is collected for use in the facility’s

toilets. The building also features a sprung wood floor for dance classes, and a small boardroom for meeting. The new community centre features more than 12,000 square feet of recreational and community space, including a banquet room capable of accommodating weddings with up to 170 guests. The facility now hosts fitness classes, arts and crafts workshops and much

more. Solaris at Meadows Gate is located on Harris Road next to the Pitt Meadows Civic Centre and Spirit Square. The development marks the first two mid-rise mixed-use buildings in the community and the third building is the new home of the Pitt Meadows Library. A fourth building in this mixed-use development is still to come.

Uncertainty over switch back to PST

re El se?

Russ Yazdgerdian may be learning the reality of the phrase, be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. After opposing the implementation of B.C.’s Harmonized Sales Tax in July 2010, he’s now wondering if tossing the tax on April 1 will actually make it better for business. The government an-

nounced it was cancelling the 12 per cent HST this April and returning to the seven per cent provincial sales tax and five per cent goods and service tax system after a 2010 referendum defeated the HST. “I’m not optimistic. I don’t think business will come back,” he said Wednesday. “For some reason, I’ve got a feeling my numbers, even after the HST [is repealed] are not going up.” And while he opposed the tax when it was suddenly implemented by the B.C. Liberals, Yazdg-

erdian says perhaps the HST then should have been left well enough alone. Maybe former finance minister Kevin Falcon instead could have consulted with the business community and just lowered the HST to an even 10 per cent, he suggested. Yazdgerdian owns Meadows Cleaners in Valley Fair Mall and said when the HST came in and raised the tax his customers paid from five per cent charged by the federal Goods and Services Tax to 12 per cent under the HST, business took a dive. It dropped by about five per cent the first month, a bit more in the months following, before settling at about 15 per cent below what it used to be. But in the two years the tax has been in place, Yazdgerdian is wondering if now perhaps the public has adjusted and may not be so eager about going on a spending spree once the old system returns. The HST even favours small business. He notes that the PST rebate cheques he’ll now get from the government will be less than what he received under the HST, although he’d rather just have more business come in through the door. He also wonders if the government will bring in as much revenue. For Rob Grimm, with Portrait Homes in Silver Valley, the introduction of the HST and now the reverting back to the GST/PST, hasn’t so much as discouraged building as make it more confusing, and more costly to home buyers. “It was just a distraction and again it comes down to the last minute.” He was again waiting to read government instructions on how the new tax will be rolled out. “The biggest thing is the uncertainty.” What about house purchase contracts that close after April 1? he asked. “We don’t even know what the rules are and what purchasers have to pay.” It’s only now that the regulations have come out about returning to the old system, he pointed out. Accountant Greg Andrews with Meyers, Norris, Penny, provided businesses with the basics of what they have to do at the Maple RidgePitt Meadows Chamber of Commerce Business Summit and Trade Show last week.

Andrews said businesses have to convert their cash registers so that they apply both the five per cent Goods and Services Tax and the seven per cent Provincial Sales Tax after April 1. They’ll also have to start charging tax on some products such as propane and remove part of the tax, such as the PST, from other products and services such as hair cuts and restaurant meals. Andrews favoured the HST, although he disagreed with the sudden manner in which it was implemented, and pointed out that Ontario has accepted a similar tax. “I think if you have the referendum today, it would be quite a bit different.” “I think the anger was, people were more furious at the government at the way it was brought in.” Most countries in the world have a similar system, he added. With the deadline looming for switching over, Andrews said it would make sense for businesses to buy equipment before April 1 so they can get the 12 per cent in HST rebated. After April 1, only the five per cent GST will be rebated on such input costs. The same would apply for a car bought for business purposes before April 1. For the average car shopper however, there are no breaks. The tax payable will remain at 12 per cent before and after the change. One addition however will be the introduction of the “garage sale rule” which exempts businesses that make under $10,000 in sales annually from having to collect or register for the provincial sales tax. Andrews said he’s always favoured the HST which puts the tax on to the end user, the consumer. “It’s what most countries in the world are doing. It’s what most provinces in Canada are doing.” • Call a toll-free number with questions about the new PST (1-877-3884440), or e-mail questions to CTBTaxQuestions@gov. bc.ca. Registration for PST will start on Jan. 2, 2013. The government has issued a bulletin, Registering to Collect PST, to help businesses understand whether they need to register.

Sentencing adjourned Stabbing from front

However, Crown Counsel Theresa Iandiorio said Crown’s position is that Florence should receive a minimum of 13 years before being eligible for parole given the nature of the crime. Florence and Milne were living in the home of Florence’s aunt, Patricia Burt, on Ospring Street in Hammond at the time of the murder. Burt had taken the couple in, as they were previously homeless, under the condition that there would be no fighting or drinking in the house. But that’s what happened the night of Milne’s death, as the couple drank three two-litre bottles of alcoholic cider before getting into a drunken argument. The fight turned violent, and Florence stabbed Milne 14 times. Florence was also wounded in altercation, requiring stitches for a cut on her arm. Burt called 911 and police arrived to find 50-year-old Milne lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. He died

later in hospital. In her ruling, Madam Justice Jeanne Watchuk ruled that although Florence was drinking that night, she was not too intoxicated to form the intent to murder her husband. “I find that Ms. Florence was not intoxicated and angry to such a degree that prevented her from intending to cause Mr. Milne bodily harm or seeing that the multiple stab wounds and cuts would cause his death,” said Watchuk. A pre-sentence report detailed Florence’s aboriginal background for the court on Thursday. Iandiorio suggested Florence’s aboriginal background was not a mitigating factor in the crime While the report noted that Milne had previously been charged with spousal assault, Iandiorio pointed out that he had never been convicted. The sentencing hearing was adjourned until Friday, Nov. 23.

‘I should be out of Metro’ Gas from front

The convenience store is also part of the business, and while it’s a service to the people who live along 287th Street, it can’t support the entire business. “I should be out of the Greater Vancouver Regional District [Metro Vancouver], then I can sell the same as they’re selling [in Silverdale, in west Mission] the gas for.” If that was possible, he could re-hire those dozen people from the area and open 24 hours a day. He says Premier Christy Clark talks about creating jobs, “but these jobs are going away for almost no reason.” According to Ministry

of Finance, TransLink’s dedicated motor fuel tax is now 17 cents a litre. The latest two cents were added last spring. Fraser Valley Regional District has no transit tax. The gas tax, however, isn’t pulling in as much cash as it used to for TransLink, as motorists either gas up outside the region or simply drive less. The transportation authority took in $312 million in 2011 from the fuel tax, according to its annual report. That was down nearly $12 million from 2010 as motorists bought six per cent less gasoline or diesel within Metro Vancouver.

Sunshine kids scream for California S tor y by Colleen Flanagan

lasping his hands together, Casey Wright shudders with anticipation when he thinks about his upcoming trip to Disneyland. With only a couple more weeks to go before he leaves, his excitement beams through his eyes. He can’t wait to meet Mickey Mouse, his favourite character, and he wants to go on a lot of rides. “Absolutely, if I’m allowed,” he exclaimed, hoping he is tall enough. “Especially the California Screamin’,” said Casey, not knowing that he is referring to one of Disney’s fastest attractions, and the eighth longest roller coaster in the world, and has a height requirement of just over four feet. “A bunch of people have been telling me, ‘Oh yeah, you should go on the California Screamin’,” he said. “They say that you get to skip to the front of the line,” Casey continued. “I don’t know how

‘Just one day to be a regular kid’

CHRISTMAS at SWAN-E-SET

Sunshine from p14

On Dec. 11, 80 children from across the Lower Mainland will board the plane at 5 a.m. at Vancouver International Airport. “It takes a couple of hours to load the plane because there’s about 30 kids in wheelchairs,” said volunteer Lauralee Germain. Once boarded, the children will fly almost three hours to Anaheim, where they will be greeted by the Orange County Sheriff ’s Department. When they are paired up, on average two volunteers and one sheriff per child, they will board a bus for the theme park. The children will get to spend at least six hours at the park, with a priority pass that lets them bypass the line for whatever rides they want to go on. Only after the nightly fireworks will they return home. Their plane will land in Vancouver at midnight, and after another couple of hours unloading the plane, most won’t get home until 3 a.m. Germain, who went on the DreamLift trip in 2008, says the children are really patient.

Casey 79 other kids will board a plane for Disneyland on Dec. 11. “I mean, you and I going on a flight, if we had to wait three hours for the plane to load, we’d be like, ‘Oh my God!’ But the kids, they honestly don’t even think about it. They are so excited to go. And then on the way back, they are talking about how much fun they had,” Germain said. Casey understands how long the day will be, but is more concerned for the other children than he is for himself. Although he gets tired from a lot of walking, he insists he is better now. “I’ve been recovering

from chemo for years and years, so I’m getting stronger,” said Casey . “It’ll be tough for some of the other children because, well, with physical disabilities like wheelchair kids, it takes a little bit out of them.” Money for the DreamLift is raised through an annual golf tournament at Meadow Gardens Golf Club in Pitt Meadows. This year $160,253 was raised for the current DreamLift. Any leftover money will go towards individual dreams that cost up to $5,000 each.

Christmas Sunday Brunch

DreamLift is important, says Germain, because a lot of families can’t afford the expense by themselves and they also can’t afford to spend the night because of the medical issues their children have. “So, it’s just one day to be just a regular kid and have fun and just relax and not worry about their condition,” she said. Casey hopes everyone has a fun time. • For more information about the Sunshine Foundation of Canada or to make a donation go to www.sunshine.ca.

The Nominations and Election Committee is seeking to fill three director positions in 2013, each for a three-year term. A mandatory information session for all prospective candidates will be held at 6 pm on Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at Vancity’s head office at 183 Terminal Avenue, Vancouver.

in the Okanagan Valley, with 17 municipalities taking part. That program was a success, resulting in a 40 per cent increase in business licence revenues for the partner communities, and was eventually expanded to include two more municipalities. “At first I was concerned there would be a loss of revenue for our community, but it appears now there will actually be an increase,” said Mayor Deb Walters at Tuesday’s meeting. Mike Devereux is the owner of Pacific Star Electrical in Maple Ridge, and does business all across the Lower Mainland. He estimates the new business licence will save him thousands of dollars, as well as a lot of paper work.

We are looking for returning officers to assist in branches between Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 20, 2013. To apply for a position, please send a letter, fax or email with your name, address and phone number and indicate which branches would be most convenient for you.

“We have to buy a licence for every city we do business in, and they can run $150 to $200 each,” he said. “That really adds up, so [the mobile business licence] makes a lot of sense.” Devereux said close to 50 percent of every dollar he gets from his customers goes to various levels of government in the form of taxes and fees. “There’s incomes tax, payroll tax, HST, municipal licence fees, permits,” he said. “Anything that can be done to make it easier to do business is a good thing.” Devereux added he’d like to see mobile business licence expanded to cover other municipalities in the Lower Mainland. “We’re a Lower Mainland business,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense to have 20 different business licences.” The pilot project is set to begin this Jan. 1 for one year, after which it will be evaluated.|

ince I have been writing about eldercare, and communicating with friends about the experiences I have had, there has been an outpouring of responses. While my own family challenges have been public, because I have chosen to share them, most families deal with such challenges quietly on their own. Their stories are often humbling. The most common theme that tends to surface when dealing with stories of eldercare seems to be that of uncertainty. So many families are unprepared, financially and emotionally, when a crisis hits, and the ability to adapt to such crises is often complicated by many factors: their own stage of life; proximity to ailing family; employment flexibility; or even their own personal health. Having a child is life-changing; having a suddenly ill parent may be no less life-changing. And while there are many who will suggest preparing ahead of time for possible eldercare issues, it is virtually impossible to predict what might happen. There’s a big difference between a stroke, a broken hip or a significant decline in mental ability. The range of issues that arise includes not only family interactions, but navigating the very complex worlds of the medical system and the government care system.

Last cars roll across old Port Mann by J eff Nagel Black Press

Drivers who wanted to take one last commute over the old Port Mann Bridge have missed their chance. All traffic is now using the new span after the westbound lanes were redirected onto the new crossing last weekend. Eastbound traffic has been using the new bridge since late September. “As of Friday night or early Saturday morning, the last vehicles would have crossed the old Port Mann Bridge,” said Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson. “It was a smooth traffic flip.” The new bridge offi-

cially opens Dec. 1 with eight lanes and drivers will have one week to try it for free before tolls kick in Dec. 8. Just five lanes are now open. “We’re just putting on the finishing touches,” Johnson said, adding the electronic tolling system is being tested and no problems have been detected so far. Another year of construction work will continue on the western portions of the Highway 1 corridor through Burnaby and Vancouver, as well as the eventual dismantling of the old Port Mann Bridge in 2014. The full 10 lanes won’t be open until late 2013 when the last two lanes are opened. When complete, there will be two lanes in both

directions that will act as local traffic-only lanes directly connecting Surrey and Coquitlam. Those drivers will no longer have to merge with other highway traffic to cross. But drivers who enter at 152 Street and exit at Cape Horn to take those separated lanes won’t get the 25 per cent discount offered to registered HOV lane users who cross at peak times. To get the discount, westbound drivers would have to detour east in Surrey and take the 156 Street on-ramp dedicated for HOVs to cross the bridge in the HOV lane. Eastbound drivers from Cape Horn will have their choice of local traffic, HOV or general lanes and would exit at 156 if

they take the HOV option. Drivers must tick the box identifying themselves as HOV users when they register through the TReO tolling system or they don’t get the discount, which only applies on travel in HOV lanes with at least two occupants and only on weekdays between 6:30 and 8:30 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Johnson said most drivers are ticking the HOV box so they get the discount when it applies, even if they normally drive alone and would rarely qualify. Tolls were to start at $3, but the province announced in September a half-price discount that will run until at least March.

People who are for the city Ac t s of Faith by Tim Sheridan

hurches and Christians have often been criticized for being more concerned about what they get from the city rather than what they do for it. As one of the new pastors in town, I am encouraged to see a shift in the attitude and posture of our churches towards Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, that they want to help the municipalities flourish. An ancient piece of literature that we find in the Bible invites us into this shift of posture – “seek the peace and prosperity of the city ... Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper,” (Jeremiah 29:7).

What it would take for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to truly flourish– to be a place that flourishes socially; the kind of place where the vulnerable and weak members of our society are protected; where the seniors are honoured and valued, treated with dignity and respect, not isolated and ignored; where those with mental illness are not stigmatized; where new immigrants and visible minorities are sought out and seen as an important part of our community; where the poor are blessed and not cast aside; to be a place where our public institutions flourish; the kind of place known for its thriving schools that provide quality education for all the children of our city; where our elected officials and leaders bring justice to all the diverse people who call the

region home; where families flourish; the kind of place where strong marriages are honoured, not stigmatized; where hurting marriages and families are being healed; where child abuse declines; where moms and dads, married or single, love their children so that they too might flourish and be all they were made to be. What would it take to be a place where the marketplace flourishes; where corruption and greed are declining in the private and public sectors; where there is an increase in integrity, honesty, and trust between landlords and tenants, management and labour, professionals and clients, and merchants and customers; where the quality of life improves for all. What would it take for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to flourish like this?

Hospital foundation sponsors training for riding association The North Fraser Therapeutic Riding Association has received the first of four $7,500 installments of a $30,000 grant from the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation. The purpose of the grants is to revitalize the riding associationâ€™s volunteer and recruitment coordination program, and to create a sustainable volunteer training program. Each week, NFTRA provides therapeutic horseback riding lessons to 85 disabled riders with the assistance of 70 volunteers. To ensure the safety of riders and volunteers, training and recruitment is critical. The Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation grant ensures that all volunteers will receive the training and support they need to work with riders in the program. â€œNFTRA extends its most heartfelt gratitude to the Hospital Foundation,â€? said Gay Conn, general manager of NFTRA. â€œWe depend upon grants such as this to provide our unique and extremely beneficial therapy.â€? â€˘ For more information, call the riding association office at 604-462-7786 or e-mail to nftra@shaw.ca.

The joy of winter camellias L

et’s face it, November can be a pretty somber month for gardening and the best we can hope for in terms of colour are usually some soggy pansies or an Gardening occasional flowering kale. Mike Lascelle But there is one group of evergreen flowering shrubs known generically as winter camellias that provide a consistent flower display from late September through to January. These are often classified as camellia sasanqua, although many of them are complex hybrids known as Camellia x hiemalis or x vernalis, just keep in mind that many plant tags do not make this distinction. That said, the shrubs themselves are more cold tolerant than the spring-blooming camellias, so any concerns about hardiness are unwarranted. The flower form ranges from single, semi-double, anemone (Choji-guruma) and formal doubles, with bloom colours varying from white, shell pink, deep rose and even a few true reds. Many Winter camellias are also quite fragrant, making them ideal for those front door planters.

Mike Lascelle photos

(Clockwise) Camellias apple blossom, chansonette and kanjiro. Where they do differ from the more common camellia japonica is with their lax branch habit (the upright ‘Yuletide’, being the exception), so you are either going to have to tip prune them to get an upright form or better yet, consider training them as espalier specimens on trellis or fences. This way you get a flower display across the contour and since the blooms don’t open up all at once, you actually get to enjoy them for a few weeks. Winter camellias also work well

in containers, either as temporary seasonal displays or as a permanent feature with a small support trellis. So I guess my question to you is: why aren’t more gardeners taking advantage of this off-season flowering wonder? While you’re pondering that, here’s a short list of some of the better cultivars that should be available locally: • Apple blossom (C. sasanqua) – large fragrant single blooms of a delicate white-edged in pink give

it both the apple blossom namesake and its overall appeal. Flowers for weeks on end, starting in late autumn. • Chansonette (C. x hiemalis) – brilliant lavender-pink formal double flowers put on a long-lasting display against glossy green foliage. Blooms October to early December. • Kanjiro (C. x hiemalis) –the semi-double deep rose-pink flowers are nicely contrasted by golden stamens. Blooms late fall to early winter.

• Showa-no-sakae (C. x hiemalis) – an old hybrid with a name that translates as ‘glory of the new era’ with ruffled bright pink flowers with yellow stamens peeking through. Starts blooming in October. • Yuletide (C. x vernalis) – the smaller single blooms of this cultivar are quite abundant and they really stand out as the red petals are slightly separated and nicely contrasted by golden stamens. Always in flower around Christmas. • White doves (C. sasanqua) –with a Japanese name of ‘Mine-noYuki’ (or ‘snow on the mountain’), it’s not surprising that the fragrant semi-double blooms are an elegant creamy-white. Flowers mid-autumn to early winter. • Jean May (C. sasanqua) – an Award of Garden Merit winner with very fragrant shell pink double blooms. Flowers from late autumn into winter. • Shishi-Gashira (C. x hiemalis) –abundant bright pink semi-double flowers are nicely contrasted by golden stamens and glossy, deep green foliage. Blooms 6 to 8 weeks starting in October. • Bonanza (C. x hiemalis) – the rose-red peony-form double blooms are fragrant and show well on those dull winter days. Flowers late autumn into winter. Mike Lascelle is a local nursery manager and gardening author (hebe_acer@hotmail.com). • You can find more camellias at my plant selection website, www.mikesgardentop5plants.wordpress.com.

GVHBA launches 17th annual campaign to benefit families in need

Collecting Coats for Kids The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is collecting Coats for Kids for the 17th year in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, which helps families in need have a great and warm holiday season. Gently used coats, blankets and clothing can be dropped off at the GVHBA office in Surrey or at 64 locations around the Lower Mainland until Dec. 7. “Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for distribution to children, teenagers

and adults,” says GVHBA Chair Blake Hudema. “I am delighted so many members of our association are participating in this annual initiative.” Among the locations you can drop off donations are many Black Press publications, developers and other housing industry professionals in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Surrey, Richmond, Vancouver and West Vancouver. For a full list of participating locations and times when you can drop off donations, visit www.gvhba.org.

is custom-designed for The One, and lends a quiet touch of class to the room. The large soaker tub (depending on your plan; in some plans you’ll find a glass walk-in shower) is made for relaxing in, while the recessed pot lighting lends the perfect amount of light without being harsh. Pinnacle is offering several amazing amenities for the owners at The One, including a fitness studio with a yoga room, two large multi-purpose spaces, a children’s play area and an urban

garden. The best feature however may be the outdoor rooftop deck with its infinity pool and gorgeous view of False Creek and the Olympic Village. “These are hotel-style amenities,” says Kwok. Buyers will be able to take possession of their home in early 2015. Homes at The One start at $349,900 for a deluxe one-bedroom. Twobedrooms start at $549,900. For more information, visit www.theoneliving.ca or call 604-874-8368.

Hotel-style amenities in a great location

The One is a Pinnacle of style in False Creek By Kerry Vital

Southeast False Creek is welcoming some high-end style to the neighbourhood with Pinnacle International’s The One. Perfectly situated to take advantage of all the amazing things Vancouver has to offer, The One offers something for everyone. “This is the best value with a prestigious west-side address,” says Grace Kwok of Anson Realty Ltd. Located just steps from the Vancouver Seawall, outdoor activity is never far away. Whether you want to hop on your bike, go for a run or rent a kayak at the Creekside Community Centre in the Olympic Village, The One is a paradise for active people. The community centre also has a boat launch, dragon boating, fitness programs and a dance studio,, and Olympic Village is home to restaurants, shopping and several other amenities. You are also within walking distance of Granville Island, with its own great shopping, dining and leisure activities. SkyTrain and water taxi stations are nearby, so commuting can be a breeze. The Telus World of Science is right around the corner, while Rogers Arena and BC Place are just across the water. But it’s not just the location that is

bringing people in to the sales centre at Ontario Street and 1st Avenue. The 241 homes include 215 condominiums, 19 two-level townhomes and seven penthouses. Every home is spacious, with an openplan layout, nine-foot ceilings and plenty of windows to let the natural light in. The gourmet kitchens include stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and chic pendant lighting over the breakfast bar. The gas cooktop is perfect for chefs of any calibre, while the wall oven is convenient and ready to whip up anything you desire before your next dinner party. The porcelain tile floor is cool and modern, while the designer cabinetry is fitted with soft-close technology to prevent slamming. The entire room is lit with contemporary recessed pot lighting that easily illuminates your every task. The master ensuites are luxurious and elegant, with their own designer cabinetry and vanities with a granite/ marble countertop. The vanity mirror

While TransLink asks the public about its plan to selectively cut bus service on some routes, the province is launching its own consultations – on the premier’s recent promise to replace the George Massey Tunnel. Transportation ministry officials will seek public comment on a new Highway 99 crossing of the Fraser River at five open houses in early December in Richmond, Delta and Surrey. The existing tunnel has 10 to 15 years of useful life left before major components must be completely replaced, Transportation Minister Mary Polak said. And since it takes about a decade to plan and build such a project, preliminary work must start now. “One thing is very clear to us – the status quo is not an option,” Polak said. A short list of potential replacement options is to be drawn up ahead of more public meetings in the new year. It’s not yet clear if the new span would be a bridge or a tunnel – or whether it will be tolled. Meetings are set for Dec. 1 in Delta, Dec. 4 and 11 in Richmond, Dec. 6 in Cloverdale and Dec. 10 in South Surrey. For times and locations see www.masseytunnel.ca and click on consultation. TransLink, meanwhile, is consulting on its plans to further “optimize” service by cutting frequency

at some times on some routes in order to boost it on others, where it believes it can serve more riders and pull in more revenue. There will be winners and losers, depending on where and when passengers travel, and routes across the region are affected. See www.translink.ca/serviceop for more details and a list of meetings, which wrap up Dec. 12 in Burnaby. Transit advocates, who see the two decisions as clashing transportation priorities, say it’s ironic TransLink riders in some areas will soon see less service while planning begins for a costly new bridge or tunnel mega-project on Highway 99. Gordon Price, director of SFU’s City Program, questions the under-

lying logic. He says road and bridge projects are routinely justified by politicians on the basis they save motorists time and therefore money by relieving congestion. Yet the same calculation isn’t applied to transit service cuts that leave passengers waiting longer, arguably costing them and the economy money. “Time is treated completely differently,” he said, adding transit delays should also be counted as a cost, and not just as a way of saving money. Peter Ladner, part of the Get On Board coalition for transit funding, also calls it a funding double standard that puts road work ahead of transit.

The News/sports Knights one step away from finals

Section coordinator: Robert Mangelsdorf 604-467-1122 ext. 216

newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

by T i m Fitzg e r ald contributor

The Meadow Ridge Knights came into the season with very few people believing they had what it takes to run with the big dogs. But for the coaching staff of the midget boys team, their first inkling they were all grown up came on the last play of preseason. The defending champion White Rock Titans, perennial powerhouse North Delta Longhorns and the Coquitlam Falcons all entered the season as viable candidates to win it all. The Knights, for their part, have only been playing in the Vancouver Mainland Football League for thee seasons, after competing in the Fraser Valley for years. So a run to the finals wasn’t necessarily in the cards for the Knights. But on the final play of their exhibition schedule, the Knights defence were able to stuff the Langley Stampeders on the goal line, preserving a victory and setting the tone for the season. “It seems like every game they’ve been calling for us to lose,” said Jeff Boyce, first-year head coach of the Knights. “We’ve got a great mix of kids here who just love playing the game, and it’s shown.” The Knights are looking to carry the momentum they’ve built throughout the season as they get set to host the Stampeders in the semi finals of the VMFL on Saturday at 2 p.m. at Samuel Robertson Tech School. Coach Boyce said his 9-2 team is playing technically sound football, especially after a hard-fought 23-21 win over the Longhorns, a five-time VMFL champion. The Knights used three touchdowns through the air from quarterback Joe Schuster and a safety from their defence to knock off North Delta. Jaimal Gill, Sergio Cabrera and Spencer Hanbly all recorded TDs for the Knights. The rematch with Langley was made possible when the Stampeders pulled off their own upset, sending the Titans home for the season with a surprising 22-7 win. The Stampeders are the lowest ranked team left in the playoffs, sporting a record of 6-6. The Knight are ridding a seven-game winning streak after opening the season 2-2. Assistant coach Duane Goerzen said his team’s success comes from the fact that most of them have played together since they starting playing at the age of eight. He’s hopeful his team’s defence can keep up its strong play. Lead by the likes of Travis McCrea, Brock Loewen and his son Elija, the assistant coach says he’s impressed with how his team

The Knights have allowed just nine points per game over the course of the sea on. They are going to need another strong game if the hope to shut down the surging Stampeders. The Langley squad has scored an average of 21 points per games this year. Boyce, who has been coaching minor football for the past 10 years, said he’s hopeful his balanced attack on offense and strong play of the other side of the ball can propel them to their first-

The Ridge Meadows Barracudas captured a silver in the peewee A division of the Hayley Wickenheiser girls’ hockey tournament in Burnaby last weekend. Led by the exceptional goaltending of Madison Fox, the team fought its way to the final, only to lose 3-1 to the Vancouver Angels.

Lynnea Lindsay was named MVP for the Barracudas in that game. The final was a rematch of the Barracudas opening game of the tourney, when they lost 4-3. Mykhaela Johnson was MVP of that game. In their second match, the Ridge

squad bounced back to topple North Shore 3-2. Fox won MVP. The team then doubled the Prince George Cougars 4-2, with Katrina Ratner taking team honours. The semi-finals saw the Barracudas and Cougars play again. Ridge Meadows fought back from a 3-0 deficit heading into the third pe-

riod. After a goal at the mid-way mark, the Barracudas scored two goals in the final minute, the latter coming with three seconds left. Johnson scored the eventual shoot-out winner, as well as the team’s first marker. Megan Bourguignon scored twice in regulation and was named MVP.

snowboarding-related injuries, compared to 1,114 hockey players who made hospital visits in 2011. Last year the Canadian Paediatric Society documented the benefit of wearing helmets while skiing and snowboarding, as well as data refuting suggestions that helmets may increase the risk of neck injury. They also found evidence to support using wrist guards while snowboarding. In downhill skiing, the most common injury site is the lower extremity (40 per cent to 60 per cent) - knee sprains and leg fractures are common and observed more frequently in younger children. Other typical injuries are to the head and neck, upper extremity, and thumb. In snowboarding the upper-extremity had the highest injury rate at 50 per cent with the wrist being the most commonly injured site. Snowboarders also have

s the days get colder, skiers start to think of making pilgrimages to the local hills. But rather than racing off to the mountain, and then feeling stiff and sore for a week after your ski day, why not be prepared? Skiing and snowboarding should be about having fun on the slopes and staying injury free. So with that in mind it would be a good idea to get your body in some sort of shape first rather than trying to ski yourself into shape. If you plan on starting your ski season in mid to late December it’s ideal to begin a conditioning program in November since it takes at least, two to three weeks to make even small improvements in fitness. But it’s never too late to begin a program no matter what time of the season it is. Canadian Institute for Health Information shows more than 2,300 hospital admissions resulted from skiing and
